'Fast and Furious 7' movie news: Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs becomes the 'cavalry' in new trailer

Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) promises that "war is coming" in the upcoming film "Furious 7," and the gang is bound to do the extreme in defeating the vindictive half of the Shaw brothers. Their new mission, as Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) puts it, "takes crazy to a whole another level." This comes from a guy who stops tanks and shots down a plane. 

In a brand new trailer for the movie, Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) turns into the killing machine that he truly is. To put it more accurately, the strapping agent becomes the "cavalry," masterfully battering enemies and unremittingly mowing them down with his intimidating Gatling gun. Also in the footage are cars taking wing and crashing into buildings, beating up, and a lot of jumping and firing, showing off how mad the stunts are in "Furious 7." 

Jason Statham plays the role of Ian Shaw, the brother of Owen who was killed by Dominic in the previous "Fast & Furious" film. He comes with nothing but retribution, making himself and his deadly capabilities known to the gang by bombing the home of his brother's killer. 

At the center of the edging action, "Furious 7" reiterates its central theme — family. This resonates the cast and crew's feelings on the death of their co-star and friend Paul Walker (Brian O' Conner in the film), who was killed in a car accident on the way to a charity event more than a year ago. "Furious 7" serves as the beloved actor's final ride. His brothers Caleb and Cody completed his scenes for the movie. 

"Furious 7" also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris and Kurt Russell. Iggy Azalea has a cameo appearance in the car-themed action flick as well. James Wan was at the helm and Chris Morgan worked on the screenplay. "Furious 7" will be out on April 3.
